I've heard that it's also Flying because it's supposedly arranged so that one type has an advantage over the type that's directly across from it, and since we already have a water version, what else is electric good against...

Do not use "facts" based on fan-deductions and estabilish them as fact. As much as everything points to it being flying-type, we CANNOT under any circunstance simply say "It's flying!" until an official announcement.

Hell NO. There's no need for a new type. Dark and Steel were introduced because Psychic needed to be toned down since it was Game Breaker back then in Gen I. New types only exist in the minds of foolish fanboys.

Also the especulation that it might be a ghost-type, because the "lives in the woods". Imagine it, you're in the woods, it's night and you see a cute little creature, it's the thing you'd least suspect.

Makes absolutely no sense, but people are comparing it Kyubey's dead fish eyes and this theory was born.

in truth we dont know what sylveons type is until its revealed but there are only 2 types that i think that it can possibly be which are fighting or flying based on its color scheme and characteristics
